A mass book withdrawal from Newport library is planned for this Saturday 22 January, from 10am.

Library users are encouraged to withdraw as many of their full allowance of 30 books as they can manage from the Lord Louis library and then return them to other Island libraries at a later date.

This innovative direct action tactic has recently been used successfully to defend 'at threat' libraries elsewhere in the country and has the potential to completely empty the shelves.
